Full Bold Touch Spec Sheet...Snapdragon Processor!
- avt123O.G.Because every Android device using this chip is a battery hog. Every comparable Android device using a TI chip or Samsung chip gets better battery life. RIM is cranking it up to 1.2Ghz so it might be a drain. RIM touchscreen devices already aren't known to have great battery life when compared to their QWERTY only devices.howarmat likes this.04-09-11 03:27 PMLike 1

- MSM8255 is largely found in the Android devices where as MSM8655 is the one making it's way into the 2011 Blackberries. The major difference seem to be MSM8655 SoC supports dual mode HSPA+ plus CDMA too and both processors are clock-able upto 1.5Ghz. So both GSM and CDMA Blackberries will have the same QC MSM8655 processor and that makes perfect sense as that would save a lot of time, money and effort for RIM.

- Well, about battery life, they said that the batteries they were using were different. They seemed thicker. Look at the Bold Touch and it's back, look at the size of the battery.04-09-11 11:24 PMLike 0

So when comparing the Monaco to the Storm 2, it actually dropped from 1400mAh. That's a 170mAh drop.
The Bold Touch dropped from 1550mAh that the 9700/9780 had. That's a 320mAh drop.
The battery might look bigger but I think it's thinner to compensate for the new thinner bodies of the new Blackberrys. What this means for battery life is still up in the air. But I've heard they actually provide better battery life than before.04-10-11 12:00 AMLike 0 -
- You have to figure that RIM has been using processors and other chips that are behind not only in speed, but efficiency. These new processors have a lot of the functions on them that required additional chips in the older designs. I'm sure that RIM will still be the top of the heap for battery life.
I for one am glad that RIM is going to the same processor/SoC's for both the GSM and CDMA phones because it is much more efficient in both development time and support. They should be able to get new updates out the door quicker, and they should work on both models. They should have thrown Marvell to the curb long ago.04-10-11 07:42 AMLike 0 - More than likely with the speeds of these phones it won't matter what battery we put in them. We will be using the crap out of them, which will effect battery performance for sure.
Usually any phone can do well if you don't use it much.
I am done touting BB's battery life as in today's world it won't matter as much and I will be more than likely having to charge in the car, at work...home. Would be nice if I maybe could get a day, but not holding my breath. These phones just do so much and I really have a feeling that battery life just won't be as big for us anymore.
For me anyway as the battery life is nice, it isn't why I keep a BB. There are many reasons. So if I have to charge half way through the day, so be it.
Bring these phones on already, lol!

- What would be the point of having dual cores before the OS can even use the second core? Or at least use it properly. As far as I'm concerned until QNX is on phones there is no need for dual core other than being able to say your phone has it.04-11-11 09:15 PMLike 0

I have an expectation of at leAst 18 hours with heavy usage.
